Taeyong starts to cut, mince, chop, etc certain ingredients (except the meat bc I was taking care of it). I glance over at him and he is a totally different person in the kitchen. He's so concentrated and serious. Not that goofy and playful guy, someone else. It's like another person who is stored inside him, only used in the kitchen. Taeyong is careful with his knife cuts but fast at the same time. "So you a self taught cook?" I ask while I add water and the beef base to the soup pot.
"Yeah, taught myself when I found out I was gonna be leader of NCT." "Cool."
"Hey do you have the cabbage shredded and the celery sliced?" I ask him. "Ahh no I'm sorry I'll do it right away." He apologizes as he leaves what he is doing to do waht I just asked. "No no I got it. Go get a pan and heat it up. Sauté the onions carrots until translucent, ok got it?"
"Got it squirt." He smirks and ruffles my hair. I shake my head with a sly smile and shred the cabbage faster. But while I was slicing the celery, I accidentally cut my finger. I wince in pain. Taeyong immediately stopped what he was doing and took me to the sink to wash it.
"You ok there Ms. L/N?" Professor Do asks from behind the kitchen. "Yes sir, she'll be fine." Taeyong answers instead before I could even open my mouth.
"Taeyong you didn't have to this." "But I'm your assistant chef, of course I have to make sure my boss is prepared and safe. Now let's bandage your finger up."
"Just hurry because we're getting behind." Taeyong pulls out a bandaid from his pocket (why he has a band aid? I don't know) he wraps it around my cut and kisses it softly. I feel a heat wave on my cheeks. "Let's get back to cooking."
Taeil: Sorry if I over reacted...... it was just stupid of me, I hope you understand (^ ^)
Taeil: if you can't talk rn it's ok
Taeil: Oh wait you're at your cookies thing!! Oops I forgot haha
We had about less than an hour left into the cooking. The first pot is almost done simmering it's 30 minutes which included the celery, cabbage, water, and beef base. Taeyong was working on the second base of the dish which was in the second pan where he sautéed the onions and carrots. I had to cook the chicken while he cooked the sausage, then we added the two meats with the sautéed ingredients. Also added ham, pickles, and tomato paste, bring it to a boil, simmer after for 2 minutes.
"Hey do you want me to make the cheesecloth sachet?" Taeyong offers. "Yeah yeah remember how I told you?" "Yep."
"I'm counting on you TY."
"Of course squirt. Don't worry squirt, I'll never let you down."

After it is done simmering, I add the rest of the ingredients: capers, olives, and stewed tomatoes. Barely brought to a boil. The wine goes last and the dish simmers for 20 minutes.
It was getting hotter and hotter in the kitchen. I back away from the stove and pant. I haven't had water and I feel like fainting. I'm sweating like crazy.
"Y/N, are you ok?" Taeyong questions me. "Damn Y/N, you're sweating so much." He gets a clean towel and pats my head with it. "It's not good to be dehydrated, drink some water." And I do. I accept the water, letting the cooking liquid calm my dry throat.
"But what about the sachet? And the toasted bread?" I nervously panic. "Don't worry I'll do the rest." "Ahh ok, I already cut the bread, just season it with olive oil, salt and pepper. Needs to bake in fridge for 10 minutes. Halfway, add any type of cheese then bake the rest of the way through." I instruct.
~10 minutes later~
~1 minute remaining~
The sweat on my face had progressed. Taeyong grabbed me a huge bowl to transfer the soup to. I take a ladle and place it in the bowl so people can serve them selves. I garish with more salt and dill. The bread is done and setting on the plate beside it as well as the sachets.
"3, 2, 1!! Step away from your dish!"
The class claps and woos us. Taeyong embraces me into a friendly hug.
